Hiroaki Tsutsumi - Beginning [ Dr. Stone ]
Personally this is my favourite show based theme from Dr. Stone. There were a few others that set the general the base theme for a few other tracks from the show like Stone World, but they did not grab me as much as this "Beginning" and other themes based off of this like "Win as One".
The track starts by almost directly jumping into the heat of the music. It has a small prelude from start 0:00 to 0:15 where it quickly builds up to the main theme. The main instrument I am not able to guess what it might be, maybe a dampened vibraphone, or maybe some other Latin instrument, but its quite nice and sets a nice tribal kind of theme. The cymbals and probably Tambourine in the background add a nice flourish to it. The drums slowly start at 0:07 with some of those tribal like vocals starting at 0:12 and everything goes full throttle by the 0:15 mark playing the main kick of the music right in the start. The vocals, drums, violins, trumpets all make a really good theme, which quickly ends at 0:30.
The track then goes back down again and this time goes into a really good build up mode. The part from 0:30 to 0:45 is very similar the the 0:00 to 0:15 part. The 0:45 part is an entirely piano part which plays the similar theme which was played in the part just before it, however adding its own touch when ending that piano section at 0:55 to 0:57. I have definitely heard this part piano plays at its ending multiple times in the show with senku's scenes. The nice short piano section which ends at 0:59. After 0:59 is a small flute section which again plays the same music. One interesting part about all these 3 sections that played similar tune, was that they all ended with their own touch. The first part 0:30 to 0:45 just continued that theme did not really ending its section, but immediately jumps to the next piano section, which ends with its own touch as I talked above. And then the flute section starts which ends at 1:14 again in its own way, but as a sort of conclusion for all the 3 sections which was quite nice. Also just before starting the flute part, the violins take up (along with vocals) to move on to the next section which was a really good transition in my opinion.
And then there is a small section with I think horns, trumpets violins and drums. Its sort of like a victory theme at that section which starts at 1:14 with the brass family. The track goes back to building up to its main theme at 1:40. The tune this time is a little different with this prelude having many more instruments like drums and violins and other instruments that were in the 0:00 to 0:15 section. The track then starts its initial vocals and main theme from 1:51 and then rest of the time is same as the 0:15 section. This theme is really good sounding as I said before, loved this section a lot.
The track then quickly finishes off with a small ending flute violin and drums section.
A great theme overall. The main section and even the overall theme of this track is definitely more towards the victory side, counteracting a little with its name "Beginning" haha.
